New bills for 2003
The US government is redesigning its currency again. Pedaled as an attempt to keep ahead of counterfeiters, the newly designed $20 will be out in the fall of 2003 with the $50 and $100 to hit the streets late next year. www.moneyfactory.com has pictures of the new $20 and, well, what can I say? Andrew Jackson looks constipated. The American "greenback" has a certain moss-tone to its back (though we can probably chalk that up to what happens when you reduce a complex pattern to 72dpi) and a bit of indecision about coloration on the front. You can see it for yourself here and here.
